Nestle India on Wednesday (Sept 21) moved India’s apex court, the Supreme Court of India seeking its nod to destroy about 550 tonnes of recalled stock of Maggie Noodles which have passed shelf life, saying its storage may lead to health hazard at the 39 locations where it is stored across the country.
A bench of Justices Dipak Misra and C Nagappan agreed to hear the plea tomorrow after it was mentioned by senior advocate Harish Salve saying the food regulator Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) was not opposed to the company's petition. Salve said that FSSAI and the company have both agreed to destroy the stock which has crossed its shelf life.
The company said that pursuant to withdrawal announcement and ban order on June 5, 2015, Nestle India Ltd had recalled stocks of Maggie Noodles and till September 1, 2015 destroyed around 38,000 tonnes of Maggie Noodles.
